What a beautiful setting!! The site looks exactly as pictured, but the view is even prettier in person. The platform and fire pits were nice amenities, and we enjoyed being so immersed in nature. Would highly recommend & hope to visit again soon!!

We had the best time at this Hipcamp! The drive up was so fun. The space was very clean and well maintained. The only thing I would pre-warn people of is the strong winds up there! We were a little underprepared for those and it did get very chilly. Otherwise it was a beautiful, relaxing, and great weekend getaway.

Me and my wife used this site for a last minute getaway. The hoste was very informative and the site was clean with wonderful views. The platform was a plus, along with the outhouse. We do wish the outhouse had a spot to hang the toilet paper. We also liked how the host had hooks on the posts for us to hang things. We will be visiting this site in the future.

Awesome location. SO QUIET! Don’t let the dirt road up there intimidate you - I made it in a FWD Toyota Sienna minivan. The site is very secluded, perfect for some self reflection. There are 2 fire pits and plenty of shade. The trees give you a cozy secluded feeling and the one view out the front is really nice.
